Advantages And Disadvantages Of Using A Portable Air Cooler

By Alex D White


There are a lot of features of an evaporative air cooler that you need to know about, the effectiveness of such air cooler, it also has certain advantages and disadvantages that urges people to install a portable air cooler in their rooms or apartments. The evaporative coolers are considered to work differently from how the conventional air conditioners work.

The portable air coolers are known to have a throw of at least 10 feet. There are countries that look to have coolers that are large and have a throw of around 30 feet. However, such coolers have a major disadvantage, as they create a lot of noise, which is produced by the exhaust fans installed in them that act as blowers for the machine to work for air movement.

The process of endothermic reaction on which the evaporative cooler works is very simple to understand. Consider, how on a wet day, sweat from our skin starts to evaporate; the same principle is used in the process of endothermic reaction in the air cooler. Likewise as we get out of a swimming pool, on a hot day, although the temperature around us would be very high, the rapid evaporation of water on our body helps us to cool down and feel the cold.

You may often come against air coolers that have controllers for maintaining the water level in the cooler tank. The fact about the evaporative cooler is they are portable, thus they cannot be connected with a permanent water supply for water level maintenance.

People use the evaporative air coolers in areas that are humid; however, they are known to be very effective in dry climates too. This is simply possible because, the water is found to evaporate quickly in dry areas as compared to the humid climates, which makes it more effective in areas where humidity is low.

Similar to the smaller units of evaporative coolers, even the commercial coolers works effectively at a low cost when compared to large air conditioners. Along with this the evaporative coolers cover more space, which is at least 4000 square feet.

The amount of energy used for the air cooler to work is very low as compared to the air conditioner. The electricity cost of using the evaporative air cooler is very low. Unlike noisy air conditioners, the portable air coolers produce no noise and enable you to have a peaceful sleep.

Even though it provides you with very useful advantages there are certain disadvantages that are still a concern for several people. There is no temperature controlling options available in the air cooler. Very often water containment becomes a major concern, as water scarcity is a problem in many areas and it creates difficulty in the operation of the air cooler. When used for a long time and no maintenance are done, the air coolers start giving a foul smell, which can be harmful for the health of an individual.
